The following day, Lily sat with Jenna and Sarah at a cozy café, their usual spot for catching up. Jenna and Sarah were already seated when Lily arrived, looking excited and ready to share some news.

As she took her seat, Jenna’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. “So, Lily, what’s new? How did the call with Ethan go?”

Lily took a deep breath, a smile spreading across her face. “I’ve got something to tell you both. Ethan and I talked after the awards show, and... we’re going to give our relationship another shot.”

Sarah’s eyes widened, and she looked at Lily with surprise and excitement. “Seriously? That’s amazing! I knew he was making changes, but this is really great.”

Jenna leaned forward, her expression turning thoughtful. “Yeah, I’ve seen how much he’s changed. He really seemed genuine last night. I’m glad you both are taking this step.”

Lily nodded, her smile growing. “He’s worked hard to change, and I can see that. I’ve noticed how he’s become more focused and serious about his music and his life. I think this time it could be different.”

Sarah reached over to squeeze Lily’s hand. “I’m so happy for you. It’s clear he’s made a lot of progress, and it’s great that you’re giving him another chance. You deserve to be with someone who truly values you.”

Jenna added, “Absolutely. It’s exciting to see how things are turning out. I’m sure this new chapter for both of you will be something special.”

The three friends chatted animatedly about Lily and Ethan’s renewed relationship, sharing their thoughts and excitement. Lily felt grateful for their support and was hopeful about the future, knowing she had the backing of her close friends as she embarked on this new journey with Ethan.
